Ok so firstly let me tell you I've never been in a relationship in my life before and I don't understand these Social cues much, so even if a girl gave me a hint I never realised them. But I've been understanding them better now than before.
So there was this girl in my graduation batch who recently slid into my DMs by reacting to a football related story on my IG of which I'm sure she has no interest. This was in January.
I thought she wanted to have a conversation so we started talking when I wished her happy birthday in March and then she wished me back for my birthday in the same month. And then we started talking on snapchat when again she initiated the conversation and I got to know that we both love cats and initially she showed me a lot of enthusiasm in talking with me and we started sharing cat related vids and memes etc and this was going on for 2 months(April and May). This is where I think I messed up by telling her I liked her a little too quickly(in April). Despite all signs telling me otherwise she told me she didn't expect this at all. Somehow we still continued talking. I even made a playlist for her (if it matters). One day(1st of June) I indirectly asked for her number and this is where I think things went to shit.
She told me that she sees me only as a friend and if I am hoping something beyond this then it won't be possible. I told her that I understand and said sorry for pushing her about it. And now she still talks to me but with late replies and somewhat distancing me (or breadcrumbing me?). And for me, this was not the kind of girl wasting a chance with :(
A little about the girl's and her past cos this might also be somewhat imp for context. She lives far away from my current location. She's had 2 relationships until now and both were long like 4-5 years long. And her 2nd ex mentally tortured her for breaking up with him by threatening her about their pvt pics and stuff and she hasn't had a relationship after that. I know this cos she opened up about this.
Now I've typed all that happened so far in so much of head rush that I think the timeline is a bit messed up but you'll be able to get the gist of it. I hope.
Do share your opinion. Brutal honesty appreciated.
Tl:DR; 23M with low social IQ and no idea of how relationships work confessed to a girl (24F) with a horrendous dating past, too quickly and now she is distancing him or is over him.

Hi,
I bought an old house a year ago, and there were some cracks that could potentially be structural issues on the basement wall and the concrete floor that support our house. To determine the extent of the problem, would you recommend calling a foundation repair company or a structural inspection company? A licensed structural engineer can conduct an inspection for $600, and they would not have how to fix it. On the other hand, we're concerned that a foundation repair company might try to instill fear and charge more for the repairs (as there are a few such companies in my town). Which approach do you recommend we pursue first?
I appreciate your help in advance.

How did everyone feel about the QM1 exam? I personally felt it was quite long and the numbers are ugly so not sure if I calculated them right. There are some tricky parts too. Do they scale the mark up in QM1?

Hi I started a guild a few months ago with a bigger group of friends. And we can't decide which guild hall to choose. We only agreed that we don't like the one in the cave. And that's the one that people praise for some reason... most of us like the one with a touch of Asian culture, but I hear that's the worst of all. I just saw on youtube that when they improve the buildings in the older halls, it has a nice animation where you can see how the ruins of that building are being nicely built into a new form. That Asian guild hall for some reason doesn't have any animation when upgrading buildings, just suddenly in a second the building looks different.
I want to ask if you would be willing to do a brief review of all 4 guild halls. Explain the pros and cons of each why it pays to choose this one over that one, and of course I'm also interested in your personal opinion on each guild hall. We will be very grateful. And I apologize for my English I'm Slovak.

The avalanche of information that's now coming out regarding UFO's, congressional hearings into UFO's, whistle-blowers etc and all from pretty credible and irrefutable sources pretty much answers the biggest human question of "are we alone in the universe?" with a resounding Nope! and yet, the world is pretty much "meh", my friends are all meh, the news seems to be all meh.. how in the hell are we not going apeshit (in a good way) over this!? I don't understand it, is it literally going to take a bloody UFO parked over the Whitehouse to wake people up to this monumental revelation?

Hi :wave:
​
I have a few questions regarding how you would do a state machine in an application that needs to be portable across a wide array of compilers, OS's and hardware.
The first thing I stumbled upon is Boost https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_82_0/libs/msm/doc/HTML/index.html
But I am a little afraid to pull this in, as it seems a bit heavy-weight, and _if_ I do start using this in my main application code, and it does not port to either any of the RTOS's or some hardware, I'm toast.
What are people using for their state machine frameworks?
Recommendations, hints, tips?
Worst case scenario I will have to switch statement the whole thing..

Hi there,
I have been using a Mikrotik hap ax2 for the last 8-10 months but I am not very satisfied with it. I feel like I have bitten off more than I could chew, as it clearly requires more knowledge of networking than I have, even for simple things. I'm also rather underwhelmed by the quality of the WiFi, especially 5Ghz, which is dropping a lot, even after fine tuning the frequencies.
At this point, I don't have the time or energy to try to get this router to work exactly as I want it to. I recognize that it gives a huge flexibility, but it is just too much for me.
In this context, I'm looking for alternatives that would be a little bit more beginner friendly and stable. My main wishes are the following:

• Stable, good quality WiFi (minimum WiFi 6);
• Intuitive interface;
• PoE is not a requirement;
• Ease of finding information/support online;
• Long term updates;
• I have a 10gig wirenet connection, taking advantage of it is always welcome. I want to be able to exploit at least the usual 1gig;
• Budget is about 250$.

As to what I use the router for:

• I have a setup with a NUC/Rasperry Pis, combining local apps, Wireguard and piholes. So port forwarding and some NAT options are needed;
• Guest wireless network;
• Assign a local IP manually (that would limit how much I need to redo my whole setup);
• Not rack mounted;
• Set DNS system wide.

The two options I am considering right now are the UDR or the Asus RT-AX88U Pro, considering they retail for about the same price in my country.
Would you have advice to help me choose?
Thanks!

Thank you to everyone on Igcse for helping those in need. Thank you to those who consulted others at their worst times. Thank you for those who advice and answer questions. You won’t believe how many times this page saved me this exam season😭 and CONGRATS WE ARE DONE‼️

I'm sorry, this will be long.
It's literally impossible to go through any kind of social media searching information about bottom surgery (or SRS in general), without finding hateful speech coming from cis people who know nothing about this surgeries spreading misinformation and posting pictures of people's genitals (without their consent, of course) with fresh scars from recent surgery calling it butched. It's not butched. It's fresh.
And I can't stop thinking that this is partially or completely the fault of the extreme visibility in social media and internet. Yes, information and the possibility to access to resources is helpful and important for transsexual people, but it shouldn't be that easy to find (for cis people and the "nondysphorics"). Why would a cis person search for vagino/phalloplasty in the first place? (Puting aside the possibility of them having a trans relative or partner.) It shouldn't even cross their minds. But, of course, they could scroll on tiktok and find a video of a 'transmasc' shitting on phalloplasty and saying how it isn't for them (thanks for the info, no one asked), which motivates them to Google the procedure and then write a tweet about how horrible the surgery is and how the person life is ruined. This is just an example.
I don't know. Why would a cis person, totally uninterested in SRS, search naturally for its results? I don't search about how to perform a heart transplant just for fun. Something needs to call my attention for me to do so.
Do you imagine how could things change if the first contact that these people had with the surgery was a transsexual person talking naturally about it and about how their life is 100% better now and how the surgery gave them the quality of life they needed? Instead of hate speech, extreme romantization or direct misinformation coming sometimes, sadly, from trans people.
I normally don't care about people speaking shit, but its impossible to don't feel somehow hurted when A LOT of people call disgusting and horrific a procedure you are 'forced' to have because dysphoria doesn't let you live. And even more when 99% of what they say isn't even true and the ball of hate just grows and grows.
I'm sorry if this was written poorly or it's difficult to understand what I'm saying. I'm just pissed.

I've been building a massive "boarding school" lot for the last few days and noticed just how many bins I have everywhere. Looking at other community lots I've built, there are also bins everywhere. I suppose I just don't like the idea of people littering in my nice clean community lots and make sure there are plenty of places to throw away your rubbish. Plus recycling, of course.
What little realistic touches do you add to your builds that don't affect gameplay?

figured i couldn’t mope around anymore and needed to finally get out all of my anger and stories ive been dying to tell of my mother. or lack of one rather. i grew up being raised by my older siblings due to my mothers neglect, and constant need to act like a teenager && neglect her children + responsibilities. my father was deployed in the military during this, so it was a rough time for my family. im thankful i don’t remember much, but i do remember how lonely I felt and certain pinpoints where my mother neglected my needs. after my dad divorced my mother, and figured out she ditched both me & my sister, he took me with him to live with him out of state with my other siblings. i went no contact with my mother ever since that day. i always wished i had my mom with me though. i remember she called me once or twice when i first moved states, and then the phone calls stopped. i blamed my dad my entire life, thinking he was the one who restricted it. not knowing much of how horrible my mother was, i did anything to keep a perfect image of her in my mind. i constantly begged for him to let me talk to her, and resented him for not letting it happen. needless to say, growing up I realized it had nothing to do with him. she chose to never contact me. she ran off with her new husband, and went no contact on her kids. before i figured all of this out however, I got in contact with her when i was about 15-16. i was so fucking happy. i felt like my life was perfect then and there, like a void was filled and she could come visit and talk to me more. boy was I wrong. when i turned 17, she finally told me I should come visit. but i had to pay for it. so I did. i went out and it was the best week ever. i felt whole again, and like everything I missed about having my mother with me growing up was gone. i visited her twice more, and it seemed like the need for her to try being my mom drifted away. she picked up tons of shifts and was gone most of the time i was there to visit, and brought me over to her new boyfriends house where she let me drink / smoke when i just turned 18. i didn’t want to do it, but she bought a whole bottle for me and made me feel like it was succh an inconvenience for her if I didn’t. when I went home that time, we drifted apart even more. dry texts, no calls, barely anything. I’d text her first, update her on my life, tell her I wished she was with me. now just this month, my dad told me she told him I was using her and she never got a text from me unless I wanted her money. un fucking believable. how could your daughter wanting to be with you result in you spending money? she’s had so many opportunities to live closer to me, but I know for a fact she just doesn’t want to acknowledge her kids and wants to live on her own. she never paid her child support, leaving my dad struggling, and lying to me and my siblings about how my dad was plotting us against her and she was miserable and broke. she refused to work for years just so she wouldn’t have to pay child support for my dad, and leached off of her husband. i seriously cant understand why i got stuck with such an ignorant fuck who doesn’t care about her kids. I’ll never understand why people who can’t handle kids bring kids into the world only to mess them up. anyways, thanks for my rant. i would add more, my head is jumbled from trying to fit all my mother induced trauma into one reddit post. thanks for listening if you got this far, and feel free to leave comments below. i like knowing people are in the same boat as me and I’m not so alone with this shit storm.

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding parking in Gothenburg. My sister, her family and I are going in August for two days, and we found accomodation, it says it's around 25 minutes with car to Gothenburg (we're coming with car from Norway). Is it hard to find a place to park? How does the payment go, via app? Can I connect it to my Norwegian bank account? It's my first time visiting, so I'm looking for informations.

Last season i hit champ in about 60 games and was still getting 50-60 points per game.
This season i have 42. games played and im in emerald 1 getting about 40 points per game with 73% winrate.
This season we will get fewer champs im sure of it, im not sure how many got champ on PC last season but it was atleast between 12-15k which is way too much imo. Seems like they are getting closer to a decent ranking system.

Hello, like the title says, ill be going on a trip to Puerto Galera in a few days. But my problem is that I am unfamiliar with the routes and areas in the country as it is my first time traveling around. So if anyone can help me plan my trip, please comment below.
Note: I have tried to do my research on how to get there and back to Metro Manila, but not had much luck answering some questions/concerns that I had. Some information I got were also clashing a lot with different sources. :/
-Can I book the ferry tickets in advance online? Which website is best to use? What are the odds of canceled trips? (I've heard its easy to get tickets going there, but hard to get tickets going back to batangas pieport)
-What about bus tickets going back to metro manila? Will there be a bus station at the batangas pieport or will I have to travel to another destination first?
-How long is the travel time generally going to batangas port from the bus stations in cubao/kamias? Google says less than an hour, but other sources say 4-5 hours. :/

Hello all,
I will state before this wall of text that things aren't easy for me at the moment, and some honest advice, or even just sympathy, would go a long way.
So I'm 20 years old and I only live with my mother in a rental.
Over the past month her behaviour has considerably changed, and she appears to have become extremely paranoid, and driven by unstoppable anxiety.
It's seriously impacting my quality of life and mental health, to the point where I'm not sure what options I have left. I already have my own mental health issues, but hers are spilling over and making mine much worse.
As she is my mother, I always treat her with utmost respect and gratitude, but all I have received back is verbal abuse.
Last week, I had a shower. Once I finished up, I noticed a tiny leak through a crack, so I put a towel on top so as to dry the area.
My mother came home to the towel, and flung verbal abuse at me, for reasons I will never understand. She seemed fixated on the fact that I didn't tell her the towel was there via messages before she got home.
She also accused me of breaking the shower, and has started banging on the walls of the bathroom when she thinks I'm taking too long. Her reasoning is, she believes the REA will evict us if there is a leak.
She called a plumber on the weekend, who quickly confirmed there was no issue. He was in and out, taking only minutes.
To be clear, I have timed my showers after the incident, and they were no longer than five minutes. I time hers, and they exceed ten often.
I ended up packing all my medicine and possessions after this incident, and stayed at my partners house, to try to let my mother cool down. I came back the next day, and to my surprise she was behaving as if nothing ever happened.
Then another incident occurred today, which is the reason I am posting this.
I took a ride-share to work this morning, and when I got home, she got a notification on her phone that the bill was not paid.
I was surprised to hear it and checked it out. I paid as I was told. I communicated that fact to her, and she responded by yelling about how Uber was going to come knocking on our door due to the unpaid 30 dollar bill, and she didn't want to get in trouble with the law. It would be hilarious if it weren't said completely seriously.
I reassured her multiple times that I had paid the bill, and she insisted she "couldn't trust me", and would not change her mind.
This prompted me to become visibly upset for the first time in these ordeals. I asked why I was being treated the way I was, and she would not answer with anything apart from "I feel like I cannot trust you anymore". To be honest, it makes me scared of her. Scared of her coming home, and scared of her talking to me.
Anyway, it brings me to the present. I feel like the person I know as my mother has been stripped from me, and replaced with a monster.
I have no idea what caused her behaviour change, and I am confident I always treat her with respect, and have done nothing wrong. Nothing major has changed in her life.
I appreciate any honest and sincere replies. I'm happy to answer any questions. Thanks
